new federation,
And this idea of an interestate
court, which except at the time of our
Civil War has given this Nation in
ternal peace, has profoundly influ
enced our foreign policy. Of our ef
forts to bring others to our way of
thinking, an historical resume was
presented by our delegates at ' the
first Hague Conference. A project
was submitted there for the formation
of a world court. And a few years
later Mr. Root, our Secretary of State,
in instructing our delegates to the
Second Conference at The Hague, laid
especial emphasis on this same inter
national ideal.
We have taken a particular pride
in being in the vanguard of this move
ment for the peaceable settlement by
process of law of all disputes between
nations. And these efforts have not
been without success. For although
the last few decade's have seen this
principle time and again put under a
terrific strain, no nation has dared to
go to war against the award of a
court of arbitration. The stupendous
possibilities that lie 1n arbitration for
solving international problems, pro
moting liberal principles, and safe
guarding human life had been amply
demonstrated before the present war
began.
But in the discussion at The Hague,
largely through the resistance of the
German Empire and its satellites, the
efforts of our delegates and those of
other Governments to bring about a
Britain, France, Russia, and Italy
cordially welcomed our overtures, the
German and Austro-Hungarian Em
pires were noticeably absent from the
list of those nations who deseed by
specific agreements in advance to
minimize the danger of war.
On the eve of the present conflict,
our position toward other nations
might have been summarized under
three heads:
. I. The Monroe Doctrine. We had
pledged ourselves to defend the New
World from European aggression, and
we had by word and deed made It
clear that we would not intervene in
any European dispute.
II. The Freedom of the Seas. In
every naval conference our influence
had been given in support of the prin
ciple that sea law to be just and
worthy of general respect must be
based on the consent of the governed.
IH. Arbitration. As we had se
cured peace at home by referring in
terstate disputes to a federal tribunal,
we urged a similar settlement of in
ternational controversies. Our ideal
was a permanent world ' court. We
had already signed arbitration trea
ties not only with great powers which
might conceivably attack us, but even
more freely with weaker neighbors in
order to show our good faith in rec
ognizing the equality of all nations
both great and small. We had marie
plain to the nations our purpose to
forestall by every means in our pow
er the recurrence of wars in the world.
